Duolingo the English learning app for free
Duolingo English Learning App for free :-
Duolingo is not a stand-alone language course, but it's an excellent addition to a language learner's toolbox. It's easy to use, it's fun and it works. ... If your aim is to achieve real fluency, remember to read, speak, and truly live the language that you're learning.
Duolingo is an American language-learning website and mobile app, as well as a digital language-proficiency assessment exam. The company uses the freemium model; the app and the website are accessible without charge, although Duolingo also offers a premium service for a fee.
Luis von Ahn is the co-founder and chief executive of language learning app Duolingo.
Features of Duolingo App :-
Duolingo mimics the structure of video games in several ways in order to engage its users. It features a reward system in which users acquire "lingots", an in-game currency that they can spend on features such as character customizations or bonus levels (both available on the mobile app only).
On public leaderboards people can compete against their friends or see how they stack up against the rest of the world in randomly selected groupings of up to 30 users. The level system that Duolingo uses is XP (experience points), a numerical system that represents a user's skill-level. Badges in Duolingo represent achievements that are earned from completing specific objectives or challenges.[59]
The study process in Duolingo combines various methods such as: listening to the pronunciation, reading sentences, voice recording, forming phrases by ordering words and matching images to words.[60]
Use in schools
Duolingo provides "Duolingo for Schools" with features designed to allow teachers to track students' progress. In 2012 an effectiveness study concluded that Duolingo usage for Spanish study was more effective than classroom language-learning alone, but that Duolingo was less effective for advanced language-learners.[61] One proposed reason for this is that the grammar-translation method that Duolingo primarily uses is more applicable to simple words and phrases than to complex ones; simpler ones can translate in a more exact manner from one language to another and thus are more conducive to Duolingo's grammar-translation method.[62]
Incubator
Duolingo Incubator[63] is a platform where volunteers can participate and contribute to create new language courses for Duolingo. Volunteers willing to participate must be a registered Duolingo user and has to go through the application process before contributing to a particular course they are interested in. This initiative allowed Duolingo to create more courses hence increasing their community in order to reach the maximum potential of the language learners.

WHY IS DUOLINGO BAD ?
The scope of duolingo is very limited. I think it's well established that most courses get you to somewhere around A2, B1 at best, which is just enough to be a bit challenging, but not enough to make you able to expand your knowledge on your own.
